Book an appoinmentIntra-Disc Ozone Therapy
Intra-disc ozone therapy is a treatment method applied by injecting ozone gas into the disc located between the bones in the spinal chain. This treatment is used in the treatment of disorders such as disc herniation, disc degeneration, herniated disc, and cervical disc herniation. It may also be beneficial for conditions such as chronic back and neck pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, and trigeminal neuralgia.
Who can receive intra-disc ozone therapy?
Intra discal ozone therapy is used especially in cases where surgery or other treatments fail to produce results. Treatment should only be performed by an anesthesiologist or algologist who has received pain management training. Therefore, the patient's medical history, symptoms, and other factors must be carefully examined before a treatment plan is created.
Suitable candidates for intra-discal ozone therapy are patients with conditions such as disc herniation, disc degeneration, herniated disc, and cervical disc herniation. However, treatment is not recommended for some people, such as pregnant women, those at risk of infection or bleeding, those who are overweight, those with advanced osteoporosis, those with bleeding disorders, or those with high fever.
What are the side effects of intradisc ozone therapy?
Intra discal ozone therapy is generally a safe treatment. However, as with any medical intervention, there may be some side effects. The most common side effects include pain, mild burning, numbness, infection, or bleeding. In rare cases, more serious complications such as spinal cord or nerve damage can also occur.
Therefore, before treatment, the patient should provide accurate information to his doctor about his medical history and symptoms. The doctor examines the patient's radiological tests before treatment and decides whether the treatment is appropriate. Additionally, patients' blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital functions are constantly monitored during treatment.
Intra discal ozone therapy is performed using a special injection method. The patient to whom the treatment will be applied may be placed on a table under general anesthesia while being placed on a table under the guidance of x-ray or fluoroscopy to help determine the correct location of the treatment area.
The treatment is performed by a specialist doctor and usually takes 30-60 minutes. First, a local anesthetic drug is applied to the skin and soft tissues. Then, ozone gas is injected into the intervertebral disc through a special needle or catheter. After the procedure, the patient is kept under observation for a few hours and then sent home.
Intradiscal ozone therapy may help reduce the severity of the patient's symptoms. Treatment usually reduces or eliminates pain, numbness, tingling and other symptoms. However, the success rate of the treatment depends on the severity of the disorder, the area where the treatment will be applied, and the general health condition of the patient.
Some patients experience significant relief within a few weeks, while others experience relief of their symptoms even several months after treatment. Some patients report that their symptoms increase or do not change after treatment. Therefore, it should not be forgotten that treatment may yield different results in each patient.
As a result, intradisc ozone therapy is a method used in the treatment of disorders such as disc herniation, disc degeneration, herniated disc, and cervical disc herniation. Treatment should be carried out by doctors who are experts in the field and should not be applied without careful examination. Intradiscal ozone therapy is generally a safe treatment, but as with any medical intervention, it may have some side effects. The success rate of the treatment depends on the severity of the disease, the area where the treatment will be applied and the general health condition of the patient.
